We recently settled on Ubuntu as a common operating system for the machines on which we run biological models. That meant I have to reinstall Swarm and we encountered the same error Jim cites here.  Our failure is because the configure script doesn’t test for the amd64 platform.  I added the following lines to the configure (after line 19,539):

elif test -d ${jdkdir}/jre/lib/amd64/native_threads; then
threads=native
JAVACMD="\${jdkdir}/jre/bin/java"


That seems to have fixed our problem, perhaps it will help others who encounter the same error.

I got the new Silicon Forest Universe 2.0 poster and flashed back to SwarmCorp’s multi-scale Alzheimer’s Disease model.  We used a product called “TheBrain”, which has now been forked into several products by TheBrain Technologies, Inc..  Anyway, I dug up our old brain map from my SwarmCorp archives, imported it into the PersonalBrain I just downloaded and here is the result.  I love technology sometimes. … Of course, most times I hate technology.  But this was a nice fugue of nostalgia.  Thanks to TheBrain Technologies!

Note that the ADBrain was built by Chris, whereas I wrote most of the simulation and Visio code to which the ADBrain hooked.
